Total genomic DNA was isolated from the peripheral blood leukocytes of the patients with suspected LHON, and mtDNA mutations were identified by direct sequencing. Analysis of mtDNA mutations revealed seven primary LHON mutations including the nucleotide positions (nps) 11778A (101 probands, 69.2%), 14484C (31 probands, 21.2%), 3460A (5 probands, 3.4%), and G3635A, G3733A, C4171A, and G13051A mutations in one proband each. In addition, two provisional mtDNA mutations at nps T3472C, and G13259A were each found in one proband, respectively. Another provisional mtDNA mutation at np T3394C was found in two probands. In conclusion, the spectrum of mtDNA mutations in Korean patients with LHON may differ from other ethnicities, which is characterized by high prevalence of 11778A and 14484C mutations, and a low prevalence of the 3460A mutation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-56215-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,8]],"date-time":"2024-03-08T08:01:35Z","timestamp":1709884895000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Mitochondrial DNA mutations in Korean patients with Leber\u2019s hereditary optic neuropathy"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Hee Kyung","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moon-Woo","family":"Seong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeong-Min","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"56215_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"162","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.39.3.162","volume":"39","author":"P Yu-Wai-Man","year":"2002","unstructured":"Yu-Wai-Man, P., Turnbull, D.
